THE MISSING B00DLER.
Vesselmen Think McGarlGlo Did Not Take
the Water Route 20 Canada.

Vesselmen Think McGarIGlo Did Not Take
the Water Route 20 Canada.
CHICAGO, July 25.-Marine men are not
inclined to the theory that ex-Warden
McGarigle made his escape on the lake
Saturday night.
The wind was blowing fresh from the
northeast, and very few vessels of any de-
scription lett port until after daybreak.
A search through the harbor yesterday
showed that all of the tugs that are regu-
larly employed in towing vessels were
either lying in the river or had gone after
tows since breakfast time
The only craft that was missing was "a fast
little steam yacht which was launched
about two weeks ago. 1t is thought that
she left the harbOr some time Saturday
and possibly during the evening. She ar
rived in Racine yesterday. If McGarigle
did not take the water route To Canada,
the chances are that after leaving home he
made his way directly to the lake shore,
where their is a boat house. A couple of
lusty fellows could easily have rOwed him
out into the lake until he was in the path
way of vessels leaving the harbor, and even
though no previous arrangements had been
made, almost any steam barge would have
stopped to pick him up.
The fact that kilograms have been sent
to all ports to search vessels from Chicago
it is thought counts for but little, as the
masters of the class of vessels he would
have met with would have put him ashore
at any desired spot for n consideration
All sorts of theories are atlOat, but nothing
oil any account has yet been learned
The widest kind of rumors are abroad
in connection with McGarigle, hut they
are of too suppOsituous nature to warrant
any credence. Now he is in
Wisconsin, and then he has
turned up in some other place
Sheriff MatsOn has his emmssaries scOur-
ing the vicinity aud if the fugitive eludes
their vigilance he will be clever. Those
who are currently supposed to best inform
ed say that he is in the city lurking in
friendly concealment of some house, and
that he is too sharp to 90 abroad.

Another Town After Him.

KANSAS CITY, July 25.-At five o'clock
this afternoon the special train bearing the
delegation which is to present to President
Cleveland an invitation to visit Kansas
City this fall, steamed out Of Union depot
for st. Louis. The train, which consists
of special engine, the baggage car, four
Pullman sleepers and dining car, will
reach Washington at O'Clock Wednesday
morning. The delegation, which numbers
about one hundred, is a representative
one, being composed of business men,
manufacturers, without respect to party,
and is headed by Hon. c. II. Allen, Presi-
dent Mr. Allen will deliver the address
to the President. The invitation, which
is beautifully illustrated, contains 2l 900
names, which were obtained III seven days
by five young men. Although Mr. Allen,
chairman of the committee, is Republi-
can, it is in no sense political. 1t is rep
resentation OF Kansas City business life,
and would require tally to determine
whether Republicans or Democrats are in
the majority.

it pleasrs me to see You all The desire 10
come to you has grown with every day and
do not see how / can do otherwise now
than to accept your invitation.
When the applause which greeted this
announcement had subsidized the President,
reverting to bis previous acceptance, said:
THE arrangement made before was one
which was entirely free from any eompli-
cations, and which presented no likelihood
of clashing with any OF my other arrange
ments. You are aware, L suppose, that
have agreed to visit the city OF Atlanta
early in October. This is an agreement of
long standing, entered into before the clos
ing of the session of Congress. / must go
there. | only speak of this because when
we sit down to determine upon the day
when can visit you this must be taken
into account and it is because of this and
some other considerations Of like charac-
ter which | will not enter into that l am
prevented at this time from fixing upon
precise day for my visit. That, however,
is matter which can he arranged after
wards. We shall have considerable time
to look around us, and / shall be glad to
meet OF correspond with any of your citi
zens whom you may designate, so as to fix
a day and avoid uncertainty As much as
possible. l am little in doubt about the
exact time, but the thing must be done"
This remark, which was made with great
emphasis, ELECTED loud and long applause.
A pleasant informal conversation followed.
The President asked what day the fair
opened, and what day the parade took
place. Mayor Francis replied that the fair
opened Monday October Cd, and the Yelled
Prophet WAS to appear on Tuesday, Octo-
ber Sd. IL do not know how we cancom-
municate with him." he added, laughing,
"but perhaps he may be induced to delay
his coming until you arrive"
The President replied that to have both
at the same time would be little less
trouble. 1--WE don't want you to forget
Mrs. Cleveland" added the Mayor. II do
not think she will let me forget that" the
President responded.
An invitation was extended TO the men,
bers Of the Cabinet and their wives to ac-
company the President and the interview
terminated.

The boy did not get thoroughly awake until
the eighth. The attendance was fair, and
Umpire Bauer gave satisfaction. In the
third, Sullivan made two bagger and got
in on two wild pitches. In the fourth,
Stencil hit safe and came i'll on SpeidePs

Speidel home. In the sixth, White got a
lift on an error, stole second, was advanced

DISASTROUS FLOODS
In the East - Over a Score of Bridges
Washed Away-Heayy Losses.

Washed Away-Heavy Losses.
BOSTON, July 25.-A special from Great
Darlington to-day says that the greatest
damage by the storm was In the valleys OF
the Green and Black Grocery rivers, the
major portion of the flood passing down
the latter river, causing the greatest de-
struction on the New York side.
Hillside was the first victim of the over
flow. Bridge after bridge was cast from
lbs foundations with force that crushed
sfaunch timbers and left them dancing
and plunging in the eddies until cast upon
the shore.
The iron works of the Mallorys at this
point became a target. The foundry of
the concern on the west side of the Black
Grocery river, however, withstood the
shock and managed to hold together, yet
its foundations were badly damaged, as
was also large amount OF valuable ma
chinery and stock.
Half a dozen employees, who worked
brayely to save part of the contents, had
a'narrow escape with their lives, they being
submerged almost to the neck at one time.
A big bridge spanned the stream at this
point in front OF the foundry, and after
vigorously withstanding the force arrayed
against it, il began to crumble at its east
ern end, where the water surged over and
cut under the massive stonework. The
abutment was completely wiped out, and
the 60-foot bridge, which was worth some
$40, 900, also went.
Twenty-three bridges at least have been
destroyed, and the total loss is estimated at
over $500,
The report that eighteen lives were lost
here by the flood yesterday was incorrect.
So far rs known only one man, Chas Drum,
was drowned.
A dispatch from Greenfield, Mass, says:
The freshet has just swept away the iron
railroad bridge at Erving which will cause
still further delay to traffic.

GLOUCESTER, MASS, July 25.-A tele-

Carleton, at Souris, p. +. H., stating that
the seines and boats with all the crew Of
the schooners Col. J. II. France and Argo-
naut were seized yesterday off East Point,
p. L. l., by the Dominion cutter Critic.
1t appears that the vessels boats were
close in-shore, with the seines set in the
water, when the cutter appeared. The
vessels cleared out and escaped the cutter,
but before the boats could escape they
were seized. There was only one man left
on each of the vessels, and it is thought
they will he seized before getting home,
as they will have to put in for assistance.

Streets of Springfield Turned into Rivers
and Many Houses Flooded.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 25.-The
three days rainy weather last week cul-
minated yesterday in the most severe rain
fall that has visited this section for years.
Rain fell in torrents early in the morning,
and in the afternoon heavy thunder
storm bust upon the city, and for a couple
of hours there was continuous downfall Of
rain. So copious was the fall that the
sewers were rapidly choked and the water
ran over the sidewalks and through the
streets in torrents. Many streets were
rendered impossible.
The King street sewer was over6owed
and much damage occurred along the line
of it. At o'clock on the lower end of the
sewer from the railroad across King street
the wafer was many feet deep, flooding all
the cellars in the vicinity. A number of
houses had to be abandoned and much
damage was done.
The roads in all directions suffered and
the aggregate amount OF damage will be
very heavy.
